Hong Kong is known for its financial sector significance, in particular of its popularity within the Banking industry for the range of services it provides, and the service providers themselves. This paper explores the boards of Directors behind the 12 listed Banks on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It researches the number of directors on the boards, their qualifications, type of directors in terms of independence, outside directorships held and the auditors of the financial statements. Through the use of archival data over a three year period, this paper finds that overall listed Banks in Hong Kong exhibit good corporate governance. That generally the CEO is not the chairman, that some directors are highly educated in terms of holding masters or doctorate degrees, that there is a mixture of independent and executive directors, and that most directors hold other director positions. All listed Banks were audited by Big Four audit firms. The three year comparison demonstrates that the high level of corporate governance exhibited by the 12 listed banks in Hong Kong from 2004 to 2006 provides a possible explanation to the success of the region in terms of being a significant international financial centre.
